This page was inspired by my friend Samantha who added a “100 Things” page to her blog and then remarked that I should do the same. It was followed by a giggle and the words “like you have any spare time”. Was she daring me or merely teasing me about all the things I have on my plate at the moment? It’s time for my tea break, a nice cup of Earl Grey with the energizing aromas of bergamot. It is also a perfect time to start my “102 Things” list.
